A painstakingly wholesome, budget-friendly dose of communal self-catering, making new chums over a couple of jolly rounds of cribbage, then going upstairs to sleep with them.

The credit crunch is biting, but the kids still need entertaining over the summer. From visiting 'Hogwarts' to going down a coal mine, Linsey McNeill offers her pick of exciting days out that don't cost a penny. So you can afford to throw in a few ice creams, too<p><strong>Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Near Wakefield</strong></p><p>A treat for active children who would never take to being dragged round an art gallery, this country park has more than 400 sculptures spread across 5,000 acres of glorious Yorkshire countryside, including large bronzes by Henry Moore. Restless children can scamper around the grounds while the more disciplined can follow the Access Sculpture Trail of pieces by Eduardo Paolozzi. There are several free drop-in activities, including a Japanese Wish Tree and Zen Garden Workshop on Saturday (26 July). </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/jul/20/budget.familyholidays">Continue reading...</a>Budget travelFamily holidaysWales holidaysUnited Kingdom holidaysDorset holidaysGloucestershire holidaysBristol holidaysLondon holidaysEssex holidaysScotland holidaysEdinburgh holidaysEdinburgh international book festivalTravelDay tripsEdinburgh festivalSat, 19 Jul 2008 23:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/jul/20/budget.familyholidaysPhotograph: GettyUp and away ... see 100 hot air balloons take to the sky at the International Balloon Fiesta in BristolPhotograph: GettyUp and away ... see 100 hot air balloons take to the sky at the International Balloon Fiesta in BristolLinsey McNeill2008-07-19T23:01:00Z
